Synopsis

Tom isn’t expecting much from his first term at University, but then he bumps into Dan—literally, and his life is turned upside down. Dan is everything that Tom isn’t—confident, uninhibited, outspoken… and very straight. But Dan seems keen to room share, and Tom’s definitely up for that!

Tom has no idea what’s in store for him, though, as the sexual tension rises between him and Dan. What’s Dan thinking? How far might he go? Tom’s weekend gets wilder and wilder, and then gets complicated. Why is Dan telling people they’re a couple? What is Tom going to do about Ryan—sexy Ryan with the floppy fringe—who turns up out of the blue? And what the hell is wrong with James?

Kev was born in Oxford, England, but not in one of the posh bits! He now lives in Lincoln, within easy reach of many of his favorite places: the coffee shop, the Theatre, the climbing wall, tennis club, and gym. As well as being a writer, he is a teacher, actor, and theatre director. In 2010, he won the Guardian Newspaper's New Writers from Minority Backgrounds competition. He has written articles for the Guardian, short stories, and two full-length plays. Straight Boy Roommate is his first novel.
